Unsure where this sits in the forums however we have a case where photos for our users are stored as Base64 as bulk uploading raw image files is not viable with our scale. Putting these images into a table/list component, even as a ‘photo’ column, naturally adds the entire base64 string into the searchable content which is very often confusing.

It would be nice to either

a) exclude/include columns from the search while retaining their visibility in the component, or

b) exclude 'Photo’ and other textless columns from the innate search.
